Lube Oil Cooling Systems Lube Oil Cooling Systems

Many processes such as power-generating turbines use lube oil to reduce the friction between moving mechanical parts and carry heat generated by those components away from the system.

How does a Lube Oil Cooler work?

The lube oil must be cooled to maintain an optimum oil temperature such that the oil does not break down and continues to prevent damage to the mechanical parts. The oil must be kept clean throughout the process to ensure proper operation of the moving parts so the lube oil coolers are flushed to a stringent cleaning specification defined by API-614 before leaving our factory.

Because oils are more viscous than other fluids, our Lube Oil Cooler uses turbulators inside the tubes to turn the oil which breaks down the fluid boundary layer at the tube wall. The result allows the fluid to have more contact with the tube surface and transfers more heat to the fins which is dissipated to the air blowing over the fins.


Key Features

Proprietary Swirflow technology provides as much a 50% reduction in overall size and weight.

• All products can be designed to ASME Code.

• Products can be designed to meet API-661 requirements.

• Lube Oil Coolers flushed to API-614 when specified.

Our Lube Oil Coolers typically range from 18’’ x 18’’ up to multiple bays that are 15’ wide by 65’ long. They are also customizable for any project you may have at hand. Our product can withstand oil temperatures up to 400°F. Hayden Industrial custom manufactures air cooled Lube Oil coolers in the following materials:
